[edit] Basenji

Basenji was an American Robot Wars Extreme Warriors competitor. It was defeated in Round 2 by Darkness, but won the Most Original Robot award later in the Series. It also came 4th in The Nickelodeon Robot Wars Annihilator out of the 5 available places, which went on to be won by Hannibal.

[edit] Crushtacean

Crushtacean is a South African contender. The maker's son has gloves on his fingers, and when he closes his hands, the claws will close. It has virtually indestructible armour, and won the Most Original Design award in Robot Wars Series 5.

[edit] Díotóir

Díotóir was an Irish contestant on Robot Wars from Series 3-5. Diotoir, and its predecessor Nemesis, were well known for having a fabric covering over their armour, instead of the usual paint. The number of fire hazards in the Robot Wars arena meant the robot invariably was set alight in battle, an impressive spectacle. Their main weapon was a hydraulically cocked, spring-powered flipping arm. This weapon, however, lacked the power of the conventional CO2 powered pneumatic flippers, leading in part to Diótóir's relatively unsuccessful run in Robot Wars.

[edit] Flippa
